My husband and I rented this home to bring our 3 adult children and their families back to my hometown, TC, to see family after many years without a visit. We loved it!! The majority of our time was spent outside - on the porch, on the dock, on the paddle boards, around the fire pit, or eating at the picnic table. First thing in the morning the littles were in the water or running in the yard and having everything so close made it doable. Those stuck with food duty could see the entire backyard and lake so even that was a pleasure. We barbequed, canoed, met the fabulous neighbors and their children, and truly didn't want to go home. The bunks were great, the den with tv perfect for the early rising 2-8 year olds and we would love to come back every year. Trips to the sand dunes and wineries and the Cherry Festival were extra fun. We had all the amenities of home with the added pleasure of the lakeside experience. Kitchen was fully equipped, towels plentiful, everything very clean - nice and comfortable. We were looking for a home all ages could enjoy and this fit the bill!! Negatives? Not many... no a/c in the extra bedrooms but an open window solved that. Nightstands in the master bedroom would have been nice. Overall the positives surely outweighed the negatives!!
